We woke up at around 7.30am Tokyo time and went out for breakfast. Then we took a train to Tokyo Disney Resort. We got slightly lost to transfer trains but after a while, we managed to navigate our way there.
There are 2 parks in Tokyo Disney Resort - Disneyland (for kids) and DisneySEA (for old people). We went to the one for the ageing/already aged people. I was eligible for all the rides and that was quite an achievement. The last time my family went to the Disney Resort in Orlando, US. That one had 5 parks and we used 2 days to play in 2 parks and still couldn't finish everything. That was when I wasn't aged yet, around 6-7 years old. But I couldn't make the height limit for most of the rides, so we had to go for the less thrilling ones. The first roller coaster ride I sat on was called Space Mountain. It was pitch dark all the way and there were plenty of ups and downs. I went on it with dad because Jean was not tall enough for it, so mom went with her on some tea cup ride. Now, back to Tokyo.
The first ride we went on was called Journey to the Centre of the Earth (edit), an indoor roller coaster. Whenever it suddenly plunged down, my stomach would feel funny. It was inside a fake volcano and was quite fun.
We went on another one, called Tower of Terror. We didn't know what to expect a first. I thought we would just ride in something and get scared nearly to death. But when we entered, hey strapped us up very securely and we knew that something was amiss. We went up, up, up... hen plunged all the way down. Then repeated the whole process a few times. I think everyone around us looked quite constipated while plunging down.
Jean forced me to go for a 360 degree turn ride with her. My parents told us to go first and then tell them if it was safe for them. I think we're their professional roller coaster guinea pigs. I protested all the way until we got into the car. Jean was practically laughing all the way. It was our first time going for such a ride. So we got on, I kept protesting bu it was too late, had to surrender. In the end, I survived the ride. It wasn't that bad and I barely felt myself going upside down. We reported our good news back to our base camp and dad decided to try out the ride. Jean and I went with him because we liked it so much. Mom was too scared and decided to stay out.
We completed all the main attractions by the afternoon and just walked around the place. We finally left DisneySEA at around 4.45pm. By then, the sky looked like Singapore's 7pm sky. Oh ya, we went for some boring rides after completing the main ones, We went to some mermaid roller coaster for kids and mom was screaming along with the other little children. The res of us were laughing throughout. Then a cup cake holder thing that kept spinning around, and we went up and down in some squid thing.
The Disney resort is a nice place and he helpers are quite friendly too. I wonder how they manage to remain extremely cheerful for so long. The attractions are nice but not very thrilling, because I think it's not meant to be an amusement park. I was quite fascinated with how they manage the sound systems inside. I think they just loop the music in the various scones but it is quite good. One day, I want to go to the Orlando Disney Resort again and try out the rides I wasn't tall enough for.
We took a train back and ate dinner around our area. jean got a headache and my dad says it is probably because of all the roller coasters, especially the 360 degree one. But Jean just keeps insisting it isn't. Ah well, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have had such a great experience on that thing.
